What is a HELOC?

A smarter way to access your equity

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving credit line secured against your property. Unlike a traditional loan, you only pay interest on the amount you draw — not on your entire credit limit.

In Canada, you can access up to 65% of your home's appraised value through a standalone HELOC, or up to 80% combined (mortgage + HELOC) if structured as a readvanceable mortgage.

  • ✓ Use what you need, when you need it
  • ✓ Pay interest only on amounts drawn
  • ✓ Revolving — reuse as you repay
  • ✓ Rate tied to Prime (variable)
  • ✓ No fixed repayment schedule

Use Cases

What Canadians use HELOCs for

🏠

Home Renovation

Draw as you need funds across your renovation project. Pay interest only during construction, then repay as you can.

📈

Investment

Use equity to invest in RRSP, TFSA, or real estate. Interest may be tax-deductible when funds are used for investment purposes.

🎓

Education

Lenders in our network can fund post-secondary education costs through a HELOC at mortgage-comparable rates — typically far lower than student loans or personal lines of credit.

😵

Emergency Fund

Establish a HELOC as a high-limit emergency buffer. You pay nothing unless you draw on it — but it's there when you need it.
